Yo bit of an update made 3 slaves/prisoners:



I tried to make them look like they are still shackled but are scheming to overthrow their captors. Eg the guy in the middle has a shiv

Nice work TS!

I read your whole thread, this has really progressed amazingly! Kudos to you for such dedicated work, keep it up.

Cheers D!

Thanks Cave, glad you like. I'm currently cutting up foam to make a mini outcrop of rocks inspired by your terrain. So cheers for that too =)

And thats awesome Sixkilla, I don't know that much about the expanded universe, glad she fits the look!

they look actually more the part as slaves than the actual game characters if you ask me... which is a good thing

Those slaves are very nice conversions.

D

Deathclaw's coming along nicely there, and those slaves look mighty fine sir.

Nice job on the archer too

Dude that's gonna be so awesome. That was always one of my favorite aspects of fallout, the savage wilderness bit. Especially if it was buildings and such being reclaimed by nature.

Cheers Vik Doc, and Monkey =)

And Cave don't get too excited it really is pretty small:


But I agree that the wilderness is the coolest part. I realised that I haven't done much vegetation on my terrain, so I will be testing out some techniques to get the overgrown look, without making it look lush and green.

Contrastingly I will be modeling my Mines of Moria terrain (that I've had for over a year) to be an above ground ancient dwarven ruin, that has been engulfed by the surrounding forest.
I was inspired to begin this by entering in this dakka community contest:

Basic beginnings:


Cheers =)

I am a great fan of LOTR setting in terms of style and art. Both the movies team and guys from Turbine did an awesome job on the visuals in their own way. I bet you can find lots of inspiration there if you haven't already

And those slaves are great!

well TS... i think it is long overdue for you to join the ranks... we will be watching...and judging your works on this comp for sure

the vines atm look very promising on those columns...

It's a good start. I'm rather looking forward to the community scenery competition. Still don't have any idea what to do.

Oh and, I really like your ghouls. I might have to steal that idea for some plague zombies in my Nurgle army.

She's Catti-brie actually.

Catti-Brie indeed...

Lol my bad, going from memory

Yo I think the the construction is completed on this guy:








Anyone got ideas for a cool base? He doesn't need to be raised up at all i think. So far I just have rocks a skull and some knocked down fence he is standing on.

That is fantastic TS!! He is so cool, I would just simplify his base. Simply amazing Deathclaw!!

Yeah he hasn't got many details on him so I don't want to draw attention away with a flashy base.

Great job dude! 10/10 so far!

R

Nice one TS! No ideas about the base though :(

Now that looks great - I agree a simple base woruld work best with this bad dude - what you've already got sounds about right.

Deathclaw looks perfect. Nicely done.

Thanks ghost, Dr H, storag, dave and monkey =)
No fallout this update tho, Forests of Moria terrain!

First modular wall to connect the pillars:



And my first attempt to create a tree, which will be encroaching on a crumbling wall:

I used the twisted wire technique, and used papier mache to make the bulk.


=)

I saw that Deathclaw and tried reaching for V.A.T.S./psycho/jet/alien disintegrator, then remembered I was not at my X-box......

^lol

deathclaw looks awesome! the primed model even looks like a reaper miniature job... which goes to show what cool work you did!

the wall and the tree looks very promising... and papermache` always gives you some extra points with me

What you need is a merchant, ripped in half with weapons and caps scattered everywhere.

Awesome deathclaw.

I love that wire and paper mache.

D

looking good man.
